Today we are hearing many tall tales about "the one that got away".
You know selling real estate is like fishing, some days they are biting and some days they aren't. Sometimes you can see them but they just won't bite, and other days they love everything you throw at them. They can be big or small, hungry or finicky; they are always fun to catch.
And some get away.
At times they may just nibble or strike with a vengeance.
Once in a great while you just can't reel em in fast enough and you end up with a boat load, those are the days you remember.
The right bait can make or break your day, (In Real Estate that would be Location, Condition, and Price per Square Foot!).
But the really big stories are always about the one that got away.
Today many home sellers are talking about the one that got away. The offer that, if they could get it back, they would take in a minute.
The sad part of this story isn't so much that they got away, but rather, it was the seller's counter offer that chased them away. They had it right in their hands and they let Greed chase them away. For a few dollars more they bought their house back! Some are even asking less today than that offer.
But then some always get away!
Some food for thought next time you have an offer sitting on your kitchen table. Those buyers may not give you a second chance.
